Maybe you just had smaller hands 7 or 8 years ago.

Bard

Weren't they always about the same size as a standard sized chicken egg?

richindub2

I dunno, i'd say their the same size, i still finish them in two bites exactly

Cant get them over here well I haven't seen them anywhere

Lenny

people hvae said this hundreds of time to them,
just 7 or 8 years ago your hands were just smaller

Hecate

and didnt they only used to appear in shops around April?

Victor

They are getting smaller, I think and my hands haven't got any bigger.

This is standard practice with manufacturers, reduce the size of the product so you don't have to increase the price (as much).

[cue Homer Simpson voice] Hmmm, Cadbury's Cream Eggs.

They have definitely gotten smaller, even taking in to account that my hands have gotten bigger, my hands haven't grown that much since then.

Victor

I was in my local Super Valu at lunch today, and when I was at the biscuit counter I saw a big stack of those Cadburies Creme Egg 3-packs, and after deciding I wasn't going to eat three I opened one of them, took one out, and took it to the counter, and couldn't buy the bloody thing because it had no barcode, and I had to swap it with one of the yucky sweet-counter creme eggs, which was BROKEN and YUCKY and had BIG HOLES in it

LTM, complain (to Cadburys) and see if they give u some free ones. I did with Cuisine de France and got £25 of vouchers (well I did nearly break a tooth when I found a bone shard in a sausage roll). And Smithkline Beecham gave me a load of stuff when I complained about the taste of Lukozade (they had apparently changed the formula).

When I was in school (about 16 years ago), we found a _old_ Tayto bag with a price of one and a half pence! I suspect it was from early to mid 1970's (at the time - 1984 Taytos were 8 or 9p)

[cue Homer Simpson voice] Hmmm, pigeons.

They definitely seem smaller, and the chocolate isn't as thick. Humbug!

Didn't you always want an "Easter-Sized-Creme-Egg" that was the same size as the chocolate eggs you can buy in those boxes around easter, yet filled with all that weird stuff that taste's so good, rather the creme of the egg.

I did, but then i'm a greedy cow.

Monty, where are you that doesn't sell Creme-Eggs?? Mad place!

(Ever notice that no one else ever ripped off the idea till a few years back when all sorts of things became the filling of chocolate eggs).

Or something like that.

(Actually it would say "**Disconnected" but it feels more fun to put the quit in)

What has the size of a chickens **** got to do with creme eggs?

A no-win situation is a possiblity that every commander may face.

decdoc

i thought i was the only one who wanted easter egg size creme eggs .the thought of it is making me drool right now .maybe i should get a petition goin to force cadburys to produce them. WHO WILL SUPPORT MY MISSION?

by the way if u remember when tayto were 6p u are obviously using the computer in the sunshine hills twilight home cos u must about the same age as monty burns from the simpsons.

Mills

The thought of a full sized easter egg filled with sweet sweet filling makes me feel sick tbh, you'd have to eat the thing in one sitting!

Agreed!

1 Creme Egg in a sitting is quite enough, thanks! The thought of an easter egg filled with that gunk... *bleegghhhhh*!

Lucy_la_morte

Yum - Even though I would obviously spew from it. I spew from a normal creme egg.

Easter Egg Creme egg filled with the gooey stuff YUM YUM

I think we should take cadburys to court for false advertising cause when I first saw the egg I thought it was just that its only after "closer" inspection that the real sad truth came out

Cloud

Hehe!

Lenny

oh man
oimagine what state your stomack would be in after eating one that size

ok
im going to stop this right here.
i have discussed this with two of my uncles at length who both are MD's of cadburies ireland.
Cream Eggs have stayed consistantly the same size since they were introduced.
only you have grown bigger over the years.
THE END.
